In September 2016, AT&T announced that the "U-verse" brand would no longer apply to its broadband and phone services, renaming them "AT&T Internet" and "AT&T Phone", respectively.[3][4][5]
On February 25, 2021, AT&T announced that it would spin off DirecTV, U-verse and AT&T TV into a separate entity, selling a 30% stake to TPG Capital (owners of Astound Broadband cable) while retaining a 70% stake in the new standalone company. The deal was closed on August 2, 2021.[6][7]
